In life we are faced with choosing between good and bad. Right from creation God gave man the option to choose between good and bad (i.e to live or die). But man decided to choose bad which led to Adam and Eve been sent away from the garden of Eden.

My concern is not biblical. I am thinking of the reason why we often make wrong choices in life? Let me not beat arround the bush. I have heard people saying they dont lie.

### My question now is who then is a liar? When the society is filled with many rots.

### If we say we don't lie but will not speak the truth how then are we different from those lieing?

The person that refuses to speak or comment because you dont want to lie or cause trouble for others and hides the truth from being known becuase you refused to speak is equally a liar. You just cannot stand on the fense, You are either for or against the truth.

Many souls have been lost because people refused to speak the truth. They would rather prefer they stay mute and dont lie and stay away from trouble than to say the truth and save a life/lives. It is not just enough for you not to lie but much better to speak the truth.

When you speak the truth you save lives, prevent chaos and stop harm from coming peoples way. How do we build a society or community when most of us are not sincere with ourselves and always look for ways to cheat others?

I have discovered that insincerity and lack of purpose is the main problem we face as humans in general and in the steem blockchain. Some will say they dont lie or cheat the system but do you speak the truth especially to the minnows when making a post(s). What we do most times is flaunt our wealth/ achievements(large dollar upvotes). Instead of speaking the truth so that others can learn from it.

It's so pathetically annoying that this people keep closed eyes towards the efforts of minnows no matter how you try to please them. I just hope that we will break their jinx someday.
